Those dedicated DSP cards are still so high in price...

I'm guessing very few homeys have them. The other downside is that they're all still somewhat proprietary in what platforms/software they'll work with.

I'll torture my CPU for the time being.... :eek:

I'll just second what everyone else has said, the K6 is not a very good chip for audio. It has to do with what is called Floating Point maths vs. Integer math. All PC processors have FPU sections that deal with floating point math. It just happens that the K6, while equal or slightly faster than the Pentium chip at integer math, was significantly slower at floating point. And most audio applications (especially plugins) are very heavy users of floating point math.
